Description |

Disposition |
Allen (Samuel) v Waldron – Affirmed with liberty to bring a new action in courts of New Hampshire – December 1702 |
Notes |
|
Related to another Privy Council appeal: Allen v Spencer – Report No. 05_1705_01 (APC, v.2 [972] p.489) From a close reading of original documents, Smith (p.156) observes that the APC misstates one element of the Allens’ litigation against Waldron. Thomas Allen was not in fact allowed a ‘revival’ of his father’s suit but did receive a renewal of an Order in Council issued on his father’s behalf that led to a new trial against Waldron. The verdict against Allen in this new trial is the one that the Privy Council affirms. The related action against Spencer also seems ultimately to have been unsuccessful. For discussion of the underlying action involved here, see the note specific to this case in Additional Research. |
